A QUEER GRAFT. of the Hugo Ram and Tor- poilo Boat , the Folyphomns. London Dally News. A strange and novel addition to the British navy is is to bo made to-day. The launch of the Polyphemus at Chatham will bring to its unal test , so far as it can bo done in quiet waters and in times of peace , ono of the most curious experiments yet tried in naval armaments. The vessel to bo launch ed and named to-day was devised and begun while the late Mr. Ward Hunt was at the admiralty. It was design ed by Sir ( loorgo Sartorius , and was intended , to use Mr. Hunt's words , not to supersede all the other kinds of fighting ships ; but only as a useful adjunct in case of war. The Polyphe mus is not a man-of-war in any of the old acceptations of the term. Instead of carrying weapons , she is herself a weapon. In place of firing cannon shot above water she will lire torpedoes un der water. The vessel is in fact a hugo ram and torpedo boat combined , and will depend for her utility as an adjunct in casoof war on her strength , her swiftness , and her power to attack the vessels of the enemy below the water line and under their armor. The appearance of the ship , if n ship it can bo called , promises to bo unlike anything now ailoat. Perhaps the nearest parallel may bo found in the cigar-Bhupcd steam yatclis , which BO long lay useless in Southampton water. The Polyphemus will Ho in the sea as a cylinder , with a flattened topon which there will bo a coni cal deck surmounted by the hurricane deck. The ends of the cylinder will bo under watormd , all that will bo usually seen will bo the round deck , which has been compared to a floating peg- top , with its pilot tower , signal post , nnd funnels , The dock is only four and a half feet above the water-line , and the whole of the exposed surface of the vessel , nnd the tinoxposcd to a depth of six feet and a half below the water-lino , are to bo protected with compound steel-faced armor platen. 'Jho vessel is 240 foot long and 40 feet broad , and is to bo propelled by high-pressure engines of 0,500 horao power. This irrcat propelling power is calculated to give the vessel a speed of seventeen knots an hour. Her speed is , in fact , the chief clement in her strength as u weapon of offense. As the bow constitutes a ram twelve feet long , and as the ram is so deeply submerged au to strike the attacked Vessel below the depth to which the armor-plating is usually continued , it is obvious that the high speed attained ma great element in the success o/ the attack , The largest and strongest iron-clad now afloat would probably succumb nt once , could it be directly attacked by the rant and torpedoes of the Polyphemus. The submarine at tack was the purpose for which the Polyphemus was originally designed , She is specially designed to assail ves sels immensely larger and heavier than herself. Tno hull is intended to bear the shock of the collision by which her destructive work is to be per formed. It is of steel throughout. It is divided by n longitudinal bulkhead and many traverse bulkheads into two series of small water-tight compart ments. The bottom ia double , and is split up into n largo number of cells , or very small water-tight divisions. Her floating capacity is therefore AS great as any undor-water vessel eaa possibly bo , while thu danger of sink ing from ono or two holes in the hull is reduced to a minimum. There are three ports under water for the discharge of whitehead torpe does , ono of which is directly in front , under the rum , while the other two are at the aides and amidshipt , The vessel will , therefore , have four chances of attack. She may send out a torpedo on either side as nlie ad vances , she may strike the enemy gainst which she is advancing a flovcro blow with her mm , and nn she retires , nftcr the blow , iho may follow it up , if necessary , by sending a tor pedo ngainst the point which the ram h.ia just struck , At the same time she may launch surface torpedoes from the wmored pilot tower , as is done by the ordinary torpedo boats. The fighting of the Polyphemus , if nho should over got into n naval engage ment , will therefore bo done at close quarters. IRISH AQITArriON"SOENES. Under the Unnnnor Aniusliic nntl Pioturoquo Features of the Si los--Ouo Dnj-'d "Work in Tlppornry. Correspondence of the JCcw York Times. DUIIMN , .hint ) M. From being ono of thu samv , commonplace transactions of every day life , an auction in Ire land has come nowadays to bo nti event ofgre.xt _ local excitement sot , us it is , in a scene unique in all its wild , sensational surroundings. An auction at _ which squadron of caval ry , n regiment of infantry , n posse of iiolico , and several thousands of the general public , with bauds and ban ners , assist , is something out of the familiar "going , going , gono" trans- action. 1 propose to sketch from the original ono ono of these very remarkable - kablo scenes. The auctioneer puts up and knocks down to the highest bid der green fields nnd tilled land with growing crops , the tenants having re fused to pay any rent unless they got n certain reduction , which the land lord refuses to give. When matters come to this stage , it is the law of the Laud League that the tenant shall , on principle , allow his farm to go under the hammer of the auctioneer sooner than yield to the landlord , and the result is that when an auction comes oil' under these cir cumstances the sale is ono of wild ex citement. The typical auction scone from which I shall sketch came elF one clay this week in the town of Thurlcs , County Tippcrnry. To the end that thcso auctions shall not fall through for lack of bidding , the landlords' or ganization , called "Tho Property Do- fcnso Association , " the headquarters of which is in Dublin , dispatches some of its members to bid for farms and cattle , and so to force the hand of the tenants or their friends , who in some instances * buy in the farms. In other instances , however , the associa tion men have been declared the pur chasers. Of course this is the great exciting element in the business. The scene in this Tipporary auction opens in the court-house of Thurlos. Caval ry and infantry and police are massed near the building ; there arc process ions of farmers , mounted and on foot , with bands playing and banners wav ing , and troop in from the outlying districts. The court-houso is packed with n vast gathering of the peasant ry of all conditions. The excitement is intense , but through all tlioro runs a rich vein of fun and humor. The Sheriff of the countj' a dapper little man , who tries to appear at his ease , but fails stands on an elevated bench with a ruling whip in his hand , designed for duty as the olliciul "ham mer. " Ho is constrained to act as his own auctioneer , for none of the regu lar auctioneers of the district would undertake the job fpr any money. Near the sheriff are police ollicors and magistrates , and with a view to con tingencies , constabulary men , with loaded rillcs and sword bayonets 011 them , are posted in various parts of the building. For the rest , the place swarms with peasantry , men , women , and children , who groan , shout , threaten , crack jokes , laugh , and talk fiercely nnd comically all through the wild scene. Tlfo sheriff , assuming the rolp of auctioneer , takes off his hat , and. in an excess of com placency , opens business by address ing the surging crowd before him as "Ladies and gontlemen. " This brings down the house in an uproarious round of laughter , and there is a brisk popping of jokes on all sides ut the pxponse of the sheriff , who is so amazingly good tempered that he laughs at all the fun poked at himself. Heaays , smiling all over , that it is now his duty to put up for public competi tion the interest of ono "Phil" Ken nedy in his farm , on which J. . ' ! ; ! are now duo the landlord for rent , The terms are cash down and no aXictionccr's fees. What shall ho say for this desirable farm 1 Somebody on the floor of the court authorizes him to say ono shil ling , whereat there is much laughter. The sheriff adds to the fun by courte ously thanking the gentleman for the offer. Anything to makou beginning. The representative of the Property Defense Association , who is standing near a party of armed policemen fwr obvious reasons , bids 5 , whereat there is fierce groaning and a wild chorus of threats ring through the building. The spirited bidder of the original shilling advances on the latest bid by another shilling. Tlio Prop erty Defense man then puts the figure up to 'M. "Is there any advance OH JL'iiOj" asked the sheriff , raising the end of his whip , hammer fashion , Tnero is no more bidding but there is a great deal of railory from the crowd , aul the sheriff , with the end of his whin , knocks down the farm to the bidder of 20. All kinds of jokes now come up from the crowd , and there is a point to most of them. Thus , ono voice wants to know who's going to manage that farm for the purchaser and the voice hopes the gentleman will given "house warming" when he romea to take pos session. Thu sheriff pockets the pro- ceodd of the sale , and puts up in hue- cession several farms more.

From the Cincinnati Commercial. On Thursday last nn old lady tot * turcd on board of the Mary Howard and was assisted up stairs nnd given a a scat. She was about sixty-live years of ago and partially paralyzed. 11 or story is n strange ono and worth repeating. At the ago of fourteen slio ran away and married a man named Hunter , who , 40 yearn ago , Was 20 years her senior , Notwith standing tliis disparity their life was a haiipy ono. Hun tor , n man of political power and influence , was appointed Ameri can minister to the court of Russia , by Andrew .Jackson , who was then president Mrs. Hunter went with her husband to St. Petersburg , whuro she remained enjoying great social distinction during the six years ho tilled the ollleo. They then returned to the United States , taking up their residence in the south on their large plantation. By bur husband's death she came into possession of this prop erty and remained its owner until the breaking out of the rebellion , when she lost it by listening to the advice of a swindling neighbor. This man c.uno to her with the story that the rebel uovernmont was about to confiscate her lands because she had expressed union sen timents , and it was an evil she could avoid onlv by vesting nil her right and title in the property to him. At the right time , and when the affair had ( piloted down , he , by another trans fer , would restore her to her own. She acted on his suggestions , unfortu nately , as ho afterwards went into the tebol service and was killed in one of the battles. Left destitute and un able to regain the plantation , and having no relatives of her own , slio was compelled to subsist on charity , a paralytic alfcction preventing her from gaining her own livelihood. With her advancing years came increased in- tirmiticsand almost utter despondency , until one day came to her the thought that if she could make her way to Washington , n statement of facts to the proper authorities might result in a pension or provision of some sort that would make easy her declining days. Buoyed tin by this hope , and provided with aid by Freemasons , she came JNorth , but arrived hero destitute tuto , as her pocket-book , containing her railroad ticket and eleven dollars , was stolen on the train between Louis ville and Cincinnati. She arrived early yesterday morn ing , and since then has boon wander ing about the streets. As u last resort , while walking along the levee , she de termined to ask on some of the boats for shelter and passage as far as Pitts- burg. Capt. Miller and the ollicors of the Mury Howard at once gave the old lady a comfortable meal , and among themselves raised sufficient money to buy a rail toad ticket , and last night , with her ticket and a little poeket money , she was on her way to Wash ington.
